At the PaceForward Foundation, we specialize in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), a gold-standard tool that measures how effectively your heart, lungs, and muscles work together to deliver and use oxygen to produce energy. This in-depth assessment helps determine whether your response to physical activity is within normal limits, evaluates your overall functional capacity, and can inform individualized treatment or activity plans.

For individuals with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related conditions, we offer a second CPET—performed after a period of recovery—to assess how the body responds to repeated exertion. This two-day protocol is especially valuable in identifying abnormal recovery patterns often missed in single-day testing.
